On the Twelfth Day of Christmas
my true love came with gifts.
12 drummers drumming loudly
leading 11 pipers piping
out-of-tune.
And 10 Lords a leaping from room
to room, chasing 9 ladies dancing,
and 8 maids a milking both for money,
and 7 swans a swimming laps
in my pool.
And 6 geese a laying eggs on my bed,
and 5 golden rings (prizes from
a Cracker Jack box), and 4 birds
calling for more "spike" in the eggnog,
and 3 French hens cackling (in French).
And 2 turtle doves smooching
in full sight of a lonely partridge
hiding in a pear tree. So on
the Thirteenth Day of Christmas
I told my true love:
"This house is unmanageable; maybe
we should move out. So we put up
a "For Sale" sign, gathered all the
presents and donated them to
a nearby orphanage.
Merry Christmas
Tony
